Higgs Leathers was established over 130 years ago in 1888 by the late James William Higgs and his wife Rose. The shop was originally opened in Forest Gate, London and has remained a family business ever since. The children Dennis, Hildred and Babs carried on trading in Forest Gate, Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex and Regent Street, London. In 1969 we opened a retail shop in Southend-on-Sea, Essex. Today, the business is exclusively online and is still run by two grandsons, Jim and Jack and Jack's wife Rosamund, together with a small group of helpful staff.

We believe in offering top quality leather jackets and shearling coats at highly competitive prices, backed up with a proper after sales service. We actually offer a five year "Extended Guarantee" with all of our products as, unlike many of our competitors, we actually design and make exclusive original styles in our own workroom.
